Money Market Funds

Hi Fellow Automated Millionaires,

I met up with my trusted Financial Planner last night from 10 to 1130pm. After discussing with Anthony and Kae Tyan, I made several decision:

  1. NOT to put my FFA into a Money Market Funds but also invest into Mutual Funds for better growth
  2. Not to work on Bi-weekly Payment for Real Estate (as there is no such payment mode in Singapore)

Money Market Funds
I have researched Money Market Funds in Singapore are generally making a profit of 2-3% returns. Hence, minusing the initial sales charge of 2%, the nett profit is only 1% (taking the maximum returns of 3%) which is lesser than the e$aver of 1.5%. Hence, for all the trouble of setting up the Money Market Fund, it just doesn't add up. Hence, I decide NOT to put my FFA into Money Market Funds but invest into Mutual Funds until end of 2008 to buy Real Estates in 2009

Bi-weekly Payment
Sad to say that Bi-weekly payment according to Anthony Boon doesn't exist in Singapore. Hence, enough talk about it :( So it makes more sense to grow money in elsewhere rather than paying off the interest other than required.

Retirement Calculator
I have found out that CPF website has an incredible array of Calculators at http://mycpf.cpf.gov.sg/Members/Calculators/mbr-Calculators.htm. I am using it to determine what i need to do to achieve my Automated Millionaire Plan!

My 1st Step

Hi Fellow Automated Millionaires,

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" - Confucius.

That single step involves in talking to my Financial Planner, researching on Money Market Funds, talking to several Insurance companies, etc to find out the finalised the Plan to become an Automatic Millionaire. *phew* Tough work to localise the concepts from David Bach, but I have learnt a lot during this process.

At the current moment, I aim to achieve a Net Worth of S$3 million by age of 40 and this is what i have done as of 24th October 2007:

Wealth Protection

  1. Death, Total Permanent Disability & Critical Illnesses covered at about S$100k (Asialife)
  2. Personal Accident covered at about S$100k (Tenet)
  3. Hospitalisation Plan (NTUC Income)

Wealth Accumulation

  1. Increased Income Level by S$500 ~ S$1,000 per month through Melaleuca
  2. Pay Myself First (10% to FFA, 10% LTS, 10% Play, 5% Edu, 1% Charity)
  3. Build my Emergency Funds with 2% interest rate (Citibank)
  4. 25 years Retirement Fund by reinvest my CPF in Mutual Funds aiming to achieve a 10% ROI up to a maximum of S$834/mth (Thank you my Financial Planner!)
  5. Automate most of my bills payment (e.g. Starhub, Insurance, Transport)
  6. Direct Debit payment to Charity (currently to Singapore Children Society)
  7. Working on Melaleuca business aiming to achieve S$84,000/mth by age of 40
  8. Future plans to go into Real Estates and Stocks

As this is the 1st time I am setting up the system, hence, there is some hardwork involved. However, once the system is setup, there is absolute no discipline needed, as it is automatic! This is why it is so fun! ;)

I have a dream today!

Hi all,

After reading The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach, I feel so much inspired! Even though I still am in debt now, unsure of my future, but my friends, I still have a dream. A dream deeply rooted in me...

I have a dream that one day I would be a Millionaire. I would be the true owner of my life. Spending quality time with my wife and children. Have the freedom to travel round the World. Have the chance to taste exquisite food *slurp*

I have a dream that one day not just me can be a Millionaire. All of my friends will be able to sit down together at the table of Millionaires. They would one day possess the knowledge of how to become an Automated Millionaire.

I have a dream that one day we will be enhancing the lives of those we touched by helping people reach their goals. It will no longer be restricted just in Singapore but also in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand... the sky is the limit.

I have a dream today!

And NOW is the time to take action. Now is the time to raise up to the challenge. Now is the time to make this dream a reality! I sincerely invite you to come along with me to make this dream a reality!
